I think it's more a statement of commitment. Hopefully. So we won't get any stupid paper talk, and it won't undermine us getting players in the summer who want to work for him (who wouldn't?).

Be really funny now if we kept Unai, and built a new 60,000 seat stadium that hosts NFL games.

I hope he has some understanding of how much we love him here.

Don't make my bonfire all wet and smelly.

Not on official site yet.

OMG that is the best signing we could possibly have made.

Not sure I understand. It would not be their place to object on those grounds, it would be Everton's, no?

How about a rusty starfish?

Agree 100% with all of this.

To be fair that will work. I'm pretty sure I won't give two shits if we achieve either of those things. If we get both I won't give 4 shits (22 shits)

Next year Morgan is gonna be Grealish level, i'm telling you. Him and Ollie are like, in a tree, or something (i've forgotten how the rhyme goes tbh).

Lucky he didn't credit Klopp for being in the same country that Rogers grew up in.

We are supporters. We don't change any situation by doing anything. Why post anything at all by that criterion?

In fairness the new new badge has grown on me a little bit. It's not as good as the old new badge, but better than the old old badge.

I'm not sure I take much in the way of comfort from that.

Looking unprofessional is H-i-larious.

It's Villa, I think we know which will turn up. See Man U for details. We'll just have to be better. At least we'll have had a bit of a breather.

Spurs don't play til Sunday, so if we could get a result here, and it's by no means certain,we would be 9 points ahead. They would be under immense pressure to go to Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool and get results. Please choke spurs, please choke.

I think that's why they just come out with a ruling on those rather than referring the ref, but I would like to see what calibration they use, as in several of the shots showing the lines, they run over Wan Bissaka's foot.
-
That was the 'clearly incorrect' element. VAR made a decision to overrule the onfield decision, which was a goal, when they did not have the clear evidence that the goal was offside. That was just wrong.

At least it would allow you to set up your HDR levels on your TV. 'Increase brightness until badge is barely visible'.

Referees won't call out their own mistakes when they are presented with an opportunity to reinforce their credibility. They will think it makes them look weak (even though it would actually show qualities of self criticism, which is a strength). It will also I'm sure be monitored, so if they make a number of mistakes, it will add to a database of their errors which will reduce the chance that they get more work. The system as is allows refs to delegate responsibility to VAR, which is exactly what they are doing. The only way I see VAR actually offering any help, is as a tool, to be used by referees at their own judgment at the side of the pitch, without the referral. That way refs can use it to bolster their own decision making, without implication of error.

Sigh.

Well yeah, but when bad refereeing is not just influencing, but deciding the outcomes of games, particularly a cup semi final, the human error continuum is tilted to the point of being inflected. And it's every bloody week. Not expecting 100% accuracy, but I don't think it's beyond the realms of whimsy to expect 'mostly accurate', or 'occasionally inaccurate'. That's two big games games ruined in one day. By their own figures, which are likely to be wild underestimates, the Premier League have recorded 20 VAR incidents alone- that's 20 incidents which have been considered in slow motion, by multiple cameras for minutes on end- that have been incorrect. And that does not include incorrect calls by refs that were ineligible for VAR review.
